During last year’s World Series of Poker (WSOP), a rumor began to circulate that GGPoker ambassador Dan Bilzerian would take on billionaire Alec Gores in an unprecedented $100,000,000 heads-up poker match.
Bilzerian has since said Gores is stalling, so the future of the match remains in doubt. If it does actually happen, Bilzerian could find himself squaring off with an NFL owner.
The 69-year-old Gores, an Israeli billionaire who founded the private equity firm The Gores Group and made much of his fortune through leveraged buyouts of technology firms, is apparently in the market for a sports franchise.
